Hello!
My name is Eli Bermudez (He/Him). I am a 26 y/o Hispanic Trans man in Miami, FL. I like video games, DnD, anime and Hockey. I was finally able to start medically transitioning on September 7, 2023 and have been on testosterone since then. I am fundraising for top surgery, specifically the double incision method also known as a double incision mastectomy or bilateral mastectomy. It’s something I’ve thought about for a very long time and I took the plunge to asking for help. This will not only cover my surgery, but the pathology, medication and hospital fees as well. I have surgery with Dr. Charles Garramone in Davie, Florida, on December, 1st 2026. Where the money will be applied to:
- $13,000 for the surgery
-$3,000 for Hospital fees
-$300 for pathology
Total: $16,300
I chose Dr. Garramone because he is one of the most respected top surgeons in the United States and I want to go with someone I can trust. This is an incredibly invasive surgery and I feel like with the results I have seen and the reputation he has I will be safe in his care. I'm located in Florida, which is convenient due to the location of Dr. Garramone's surgery center, but inconvenient in several other ways given the state of our government in Florida and the U.S. as a whole. As well as the fact that my work is not supportive of my absence and I will need to take off 6 to 8 weeks of unpaid work.
As of 5/5/26 I have $9,700 left to raise and would appreciate any help.
I truly don't expect to raise all of this money, but if by some miracle I did I would donate any excess to others needing gender affirming surgery as well. I will post receipts here to prove how I spend the money raised. Here is the Link to the Go Fund Me I have created: https://www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-Eli-topsurgery
